Highlights

Reiseverlauf

1. 1

   The Clitunno river’s springs have created a lake with very clear and emerald green waters. This water garden inspired poets such as Propertius, Pliny, Virgilio, Byron and Carducci.

   Groundwater comes to the suface as several water springs, a few of which can be found on the lakebed. The water mirrors intense and changing colours, is rich in rare vegetal species (phanerogams, horsetail, moss, aquatic nasturtium…) that create a luxuriant appearance of rare beauty. Its shores are surrounded by a thick vegetation, particularly weeping willows and poplars. Their rare beauty has inspired painters, poets and writers since ancient times.

   The Marmore Falls: Among the highest in Europe, they

   The Marmore Falls: Among the highest in Europe, they were created by the Romans in 271 BC to drain the swamps around the Nera River: an engineering feat that has become one of the most spectacular natural attractions of Umbria.The vegetation along the entire course of water is luxuriant and flourishing, a mass of water that falls from a height of 165 metres: a breathtaking spectacle originated by nature's spontaneity and human intelligence. PLEASE NOTE: Most of the time, the water in the canals above the falls is diverted to a hydroelectric power plant. Out of the season the waterfall is only flowing on certain times in the weekend. In summertime the waterfall is turned on for a few hours every day, with additional times on holidays.
